Lyrics

The Worst Parts

There was a time and a place I kept my heart tied up in chains
I thought love was just a secret on the run
Between the darkness in my chest, beneath a sun that never sets
It’s why I run away, run away and hide

But you know the worst parts
You know the worst parts
You know the worst parts of my soul
You know the worst parts
You know all the worst parts
You know the worst parts that are making me whole

Under skies of old routine, when the earth brings no relief
From the endless task of being someone strong
The soul I hope to be is me changed in spite of me
I’m the weak one, the weak one now

You know the worst parts
You know the worst parts
You know the worst parts of my soul
You know the worst parts
You know all the worst parts
You know the worst parts that are making me whole

I’m the darkness, you’re the sea
You’re the bright, better part of me
Shine a light that guides me home
Where I’m not alone

You know the worst parts
You know the worst parts
You know the worst parts of my soul
You know the worst parts
You know all the worst parts
You know the worst parts that are making me whole

Through the darkness, into the sea
You’re the only you there will ever be
Shine a light that will guide me home
I’m still afraid of being known (in all my worst parts)
